I'm starting a Soviet force for Bolt Action. I'm making good progress on the infantry but I don't have an airbrush. With the flat surfaces of a tank, I suspect I need a green spray on primer and then weather/detail from there. Since these kits are a bit pricey, I'd appreciate any advice to avoid ruining them. In advance, thanks.

Ive done a tutorial on Russian armour. It's only based on a armoured car but it should work for armour. It's not over complicated check it out it may help you even if its not what your looking for link hope it helps any questions just give us a shout.

wow, really good step by step, for a very good effect. (I think about ten or more stages than I would consider doing… but still amazing.)

This is perfect, thanks fellows! Bracken, I could not have guessed that the AC was painted by brush. This is my first time painting vehicles and you've put my mind at ease before I dig in.
